Tony &Family, Nancy and I were so sorry to read ofTrish’s passing. Both of you were special to us through the Zoo volunteer program and seeing you on other occasions. Trish with her ready smile and attitude was a joy to work with and know.And it was always assumed that if Trish came, Tony would be there also. She will be missed at the Zoo as well as the other organizations she supported and our thoughts and prayers are with you and the family
